Milwaukee Brewers hoping to retain Mike Moustakas, per report

It came as little surprise earlier this week when Mike Moustakas declined his mutual option with the Milwaukee Brewers in order to become a free agent. But Moose and the organization have clearly forged a strong relationship over the past year and a half, and the team is reportedly going to explore bringing him back again for 2020 (and potentially beyond).

The left-handed batter put together another typical Moose-like season in 2019, hitting .254/.329/.516 in 584 plate appearances. Hit batting average was within two points of his career total, while his OBP and slugging percentages were both the second-highest totals that he has ever posted.
